Sprout

PRESS RELEASE: January 10,2016

Aunt Eeebs and Sprout have won the prestigious Moonbeam Children's Book Award for their latest children's book, Who Stole Second Base?, which focuses on overcoming bullying. With the awareness of bullying as a global epidemic, their book features the adorable Dino-Buddies in a challenging baseball game against the not-so-very-nice Dino-BuLLies who just won't play fairly. But a baseball glove offers a special message regarding confidence and courage that enables the Dino-Buddies to overcome the bullying tactics of the Dino-BuLLies. Although the Dino-Buddies win the game, they more importantly learn that when you play fairly, you're always a winner!

Dino-Buddies™ (Friends of Distinction . . . Not Extinction) are adorable dinosaur characters that live in Onid Valley™ (that's 'Dino' spelled backward). These sweet, gentle Dino-Stars™ enjoy the simple things in life and subtly focus on positive values, good manners, kindness, and safe habits.
